SafeSpace is a youth-led, mental health-focused organization that empowers young people to engage openly with their local schools and communities. We create and implement initiatives to change the conversation around mental health by educating and encouraging our peers to speak up, support others, and seek help when needed.

What we're up to:

THANK YOU! To all who came out to support our Teen Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Awareness Walk!
